I've always associated photography and style with celebration. I feel like you can't really have one without the other.
I spent most of my childhood in Korea watching my grandparents celebrate love stories.
My grandfather was a photographer for over 50 years, and my grandmother did makeup and hair. Their shops were magical places, busy with happy people and fascinating things for a child to do.
While both my parents worked, I spent my time running in and out of Grandpa's darkroom (it was my best hiding spot for neighborhood games of hide-and-seek) and trying on gowns and makeup Grandma let me use and share with my friends.
Learning how to see things like Grandpa saw them, and being surrounded by fashion, I began my art work early, starting with fashion sketches and drawing out story lines for happy couples. It's no surprise that now I capture love stories day to day.
To be honest, I don't remember when I first picked up a camera, but when I started working as a freelance photographer in college to make some side income, I was drawn into it more and more. Even though I majored in bio and social science, I couldn't stop taking pictures, and I soon found myself falling in love with wedding photography, where amazing fashion and happy love stories came together in the same place.
Now, I'm still spending most of my life doing what my grandparents loved, and I couldn't be happier.

As a wedding and lifestyle photographer, I am completely drawn to the human story and the parts of it that we all share.
I’m an adventurous person who loves to experience life through travel, design, food, and art. There’s nothing that moves me more than seeing people that are truly, intensely in love. It's so very rare. And it's so very worth celebrating.
So I celebrate that story of your love and joy through images that are both timeless and documentary. I'm experienced in story-telling through details, gently exploring candid emotional portraits, and finding those rare quiet moments in the midst of happy celebration.
I'm here to fall in love with your love story, because there's nothing in the world that makes me happier. You're already in my heart, and I truly believe that all you'll need to fall in love all over again 10 years from now is the images we'll make together.

Here's how I know:
I love fashion, you love fashion. Our sense of style is anything that isn't trendy. We see the world in art and architecture and just enough action to keep things interesting. I love Rodin and Monet and Klimt, and afternoons wandering in the gallery (here or in Paris or anywhere) with artists who inspire me. I want to bring it into my home--whether I'm making it or buying it.
You want your own home to be filled with the art that inspires you. I want to inspire you with the art that I make. I love real moments, and you are living them. We both think that sharing them with our favorite people is the most perfect way to hold onto them forever.
Happiness is what we're living right now, not in the past, not in the future--and we're both here because we celebrate that.
Beside her obvious talent behind the lens, Alice is fun, engaging and so enthusiastic about what she doing it’s impossible to feel as effervescent as her personality. I could not be happier with the end result which was romantic, feminine and completely classy.
Live in the moments you'll never forget.
Having portraits made by a true artist is not just an investment in your future legacy.
It’s an empowering experience. It’s an adventure. It’s the ultimate gift to give yourself. I believe in unbridled love, beauty, and family. If you do too, let’s set up an experience you’ll never forget.
